Our Love Story

How It All Began

Dear Family & Friends

We met on a drizzly afternoon at the botanical gardens in the spring of 2019. Amara was admiring the blooming peonies when Theo offered to take her photo — and somehow that sweet gesture turned into a garden stroll, then dinner, then endless conversations under the stars that neither of us wanted to end.

Five years, two homes, one rescue cat named Sage, and countless shared dreams later, Theo proposed in the rose garden where we first walked — with ivory peonies in hand, naturally.

Now we're thrilled to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people who mean everything to us. Thank you for being part of our journey. We can't wait to share this magical day with you.
